Lies Of Serpents, A River Of Tears Lyrics

Your eyes search for me
for so long i've wanted to come home
held back by lies of serpents
and tongues of brothers turning a child into an enemy
turning open arms into closed fists
i could see the reflection in the tears that made their way down
Your face onto the ground i kneel upon
they form a river that overtakes me
compassion envelops me
i forgive and release forgive release forgiven released

Xdelirium-triggerX-hahahahaha... "zao is good"... simple, yet specific to the last detail. I do have to say that this song it like the last line of the song... forgive and release forgive and release forgiven released. even though we are pulled down by people around us(christian or non-believers) and we go through trials and such things... we must forgive them so that we can release that. ya know? then we also can be forgiven, released. awesome stuff... lets close in scripture...Isaiah 43:24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities. 25 "I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.... God forgives us of our sins because they are a burden to him... he loves us and doesn't want to see us stumble... so when someones sins are becoming a burden to you... forgive them.

absolutely right on. "Turning a child into an enemy, raised arms into closed fists"

We become broken by life, weary and hardened, but there's a way home. Beautiful song
